I had similar at an England vs Canada game. Similar crowd iirc. Bleddy nightmare journey.I’m getting a train into Euston about 11 and heading across that way may stop somewhere further out for a few beers, lunch and 2nd half the Spurs v arsenal game.
Then head up to Twickenham for 3 so an hour and a half to enjoy the festivities outside the ground.
(Plans TBC)
Then have the mad dash of just over 2 hours to make my train.
Only been by train once before that was for a game where the crowd was 35,000 and it took over an hour to get on a tube anywhere near the ground, hoping it’s more organised this time.
Or the English!As I am English, I am of course rooting for England to win the Six Nations, but I don't really mind any of the other sides winning the tournament either, as long as it's not the French, the Welsh, the Scots, the Italians or the Irish.
Great idea.I’d like to see a relegation every 2 years for the bottom side ie Italy, it’s be good for the likes of Georgia to have a go and I think they’d provide better opposition than Italy currently!
You’d do it so every year there is a 6 Nations winner but in the back ground have a combined table of the 2 years (so everyone has played each other home and away in that period and relegate the bottom side over those 10 fixtures)
Then have a next tier comp with the likes of Georgia, Russia, Romania, Spain, Portugal & Germany and the same format at the top end.
Just looked at world rankings, France 10th, Georgia 12th & Italy 14th, so Georgia definitely deserve a crack.
Think Wales may shock England this weekend. Certainly shocked me with the way they put Scotland away last week.
Do you get extra points for the bonus beer?Off to Dublin for the Ireland Italy game tomorrow , my prediction :emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer::emoji_beer:

I’m an Armagh fan, been lucky enough to get to an Ulster final and took my dad to an all Ireland final too, fantastic atmosphereMore of a Gaelic Footall man myself, but that'll be great craic. Enjoy
Got down to around minus 1 up there overnight so hopefully the pitch should be fit to play.I'm hoping England beat the Scots, but I have a sneaky suspicion Scotland might win this one. Despite winning both games so far, England haven't been firing on all cylinders.
Scotland by 5
Ireland should beat the Welsh I think on home turf.
Ireland by 10.
All quite irrelevant though, what with the biggest game of the day being in Darlington.
It's not Wales v Ireland though, it's Ireland v Wales.England by 12
Wales v Ireland to draw....... (no more than 3points in it either way...)
It's not Wales v Ireland though, it's Ireland v Wales.
Had it been the other way round I would have predicted differently. Same too with England.
As Ireland are at home I think that gives them the edge.

It's not over until the fat lady singsSaid earlier I had a feeling Scotland would win.
